General Romeo Dallaire: We're going to stay to bear witness to what the rest of the world doesn't want to see.

General Romeo Dallaire: Somebody once said that peacekeeping is not a soldier's job, but only a soldier can do it!

Paul Kagame: They keep changing the rules. They don't want to share power with us. Can't you see they're stalling? We decide to resume hostilities, I'll give you twenty four hours' notice. General Romeo Dallaire: Is that a warning? Paul Kagame: No. A promise. But I am warning you. Something terrible is coming. And once it starts, nobody will be able to stop it. I'm afraid many people will die.

Bangladeshi Commander: This is our encampment, General. These people should not be here, they have no right to be here! Why do they choose to come here? General Romeo Dallaire: Maybe they believe you'll protect them! Try acting like that's true, Commander. That's an order!

Luc Marchal: I told him, don't do this. I said we are deserting our mission. It's a shameful thing to do. General Romeo Dallaire: You stayed well beyond your orders, Colonel. Your men are good men. I guess we'll have to survive without you.
